They replaced Neon, because KDE Neon didn’t make much sense. Because only KDE was updated, but the rest of the system was like an LTS. The main purpose was to test the newest KDE version for developers; it wasn’t meant to be used by end users. It was a weird Frankenstein’s Monster style mix. Now, KDE Linux on the other hand is a more normal and harmonized distribution, that also aims to be used by end users. It’s a real showcase of standard KDE in a real operating system, not just a test environment for developers.
I just went with Kubuntu I don’t remember why I didn’t consider KDE Neon, a debian/ubuntu based OS with Plasma as a desktop feels nice to use because most of the programs I run tend to support ubuntu officially and I can’t stand Gnome.
Before this I was running opensuse but I got tired when after updating I got a full system slowdown and 95% cpu usage on boot by Plasma for no reason and after 2 months of waiting (testing with system rollbacks of course) seeing how it wasn’t fixed I just moved to Kubuntu.
KDE Linux? I thought KDE neon was their own distro?
It’s KDE Linux now: https://linux.kde.org/

Not a spin of another distro, a from-scratch linux distro?

It was/currently is. But soon won’t be.
